CROSSWALK TO BEIJING
Was really excited to learn that elite marathoner Magdalena Lewy-Boulet qualified for Beijing at the Olympic Trials in Boston on Sunday. Check out the post-race interview from NBC Sports:
Back in November 2006, I had the chance to interview her for ATHLETE (thank you again Katy). What's remarkable is that she's one of the few elite runners who has a day job (assistant track coach at Cal) and manages to balance that with family life (three-year old son) and training. If you've seen the ATHLETE teaser, you've heard her describe her daily routine, which begins at 5 am.
Check out additional coverage of her Olympic trials in the San Francisco Chronicle, Boston Globe, and Runners World (interview from earlier this month).
I feel a slight case of Olympic fever coming on. Can't wait until August.
